DAVID GERSTEIN (Jerusalén, 1944)
DAVID GERSTEIN (Jerusalén, 1944)
5th Avenue David Gerstein, one of Israel's most emblematic artists, was born in Jerusalem in 1944. He studied at the Bezalel Academy, the Ecole Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris (1960) and the Arts Students League in New York (1962). He participated in the Florence Biennale in 1972 and graduated from St Martin's School of Art in London in 1974. He was nourished by both his art classes and the culture of his adopted cities. Dynamic metropolises that allow for global openness by capturing both real-life ideas and surrealist fantasies in stunning metalwork. His most popular motifs include butterflies, brushstrokes, bicycles or abstract pieces that portray a whimsical view of the world in vibrant colors.
His experience allows him to feel comfortable with all media. Engraving, sculpture and drawing have no secrets for him, not to mention murals and monumental creations. Gerstein began his career as a children's designer, a vocation which was recognised by the "Israel Museum Illustration Prize". The artist will be driven by the desire to break the border between street art and museum art. His works are aimed both at professionals of the artistic community and at neophytes. He uses a resonant pop spirit, bright colors, figurative style and a frenetic pace._x000D_
The work that concerns us is inspired by the beating heart of the Big Apple. This three-level interpretation of Fifth Avenue features Gerstein's hallmarks, vibrant colors that represent dynamic subjects showing the diversity of New York City on three sidewalks filled with bustling pedestrians._x000D_
